High Gain Transformer-less DC/AC Inverter for PV System

Investigation interests on many scientific aspects of photovoltaic (PV) trans-former-less inverter system has improved over the past decade. Using step-up transformer or high frequency transformer in electrical system has made the entire system expensive and voluminous. There is alternative topology to replace the transformer by implementing DC/DC quadratic boost converter to expand the voltage from 12VDC to 325VDC from the photovoltaic (PV) solar and convert it to AC applying H-bridge inverter circuit. This method will replace the conventional method of bulky transformer into a lighter converter with the same performance. The circuit is simulated using Power Sim (PSIM) software to initiate the design and study the circuit capability. The experimental result will project the exact voltage in the range of 230VACrms . The harmonic profile of the inverter is studies and compared with the normal inverter configuration.

Grid-Tie Rotating Solar Rooftop System Using Atmega

This paper presents a grid-tie rotating solar rooftop system solar power project which is powered by using Atmega 328 microcontroller. It includes solar panel, LCD display, and battery charging circuit and an inverter circuit with sun tracking capability. This project represents whether a particular industrial or residential load would be powered by the photovoltaic panel or the company. This project is based on Atmega 328 micro-controller which controls the solar array by rotating it consistently with the position of sun. This energy obtained from the solar array is then stored in battery which is then sent back to power the domestic or industrial area. The remaining energy is then reverted to the power house through the gird-tie system. Hence with the assistance of this project, power usage can be reduced by the renewable source of energy and profit can be earned with the help of the power which is fed back to the grid.

Multi-Mode Voltage Sag/Swell Generator Based on Three-Phase Inverter Circuit

The voltage ride through capability of the major auxiliary variable-frequency drive (VFD) in large thermal power plants is the key technical issue of power grid and source coordination. In order to test the high voltage ride through (HVRT) and low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of the auxiliary VFD, it is necessary to develop a power supply to simulate different grid voltage sag and swell accurately. In this paper, a generator (VSSG) based on the common three-phase inverter circuit that can simulate multi-mode voltage sag/swell is proposed. The designed main circuit consisting of transformer, rectifier, DC split capacitors, three-phase inverter, and LC-filter can generate single-phase and three-phase voltage sag, swell, and phase angle jumping flexibly. The developed control strategies composed of the double closed-loop control and the neutral voltage balance control achieve accurate output, fast dynamic response, and step-less adjustment. Simulation and experiment results verify the multi-mode voltage simulation performances of the proposed VSSG, which can be effectively used to emulate power grid voltage sag and swell phenomena under the IEEE 1159 and IEC standards.
